Young woman of 28 has sex with a man of 73. Also ick.

Both fine by me. If the shoe fits, wear it and don't worry about the numbers.

What's good for the gander never seems to be good for the goose though. Men, my husband is one of them, nudge each other and with a nod and wink think, he's a lucky man. Reverse the ages and gender and everyone is disgusted. So I figure I'd be disgusted by both.

Also, we need LESS people in the world not more. When I see people having a bunch of kids all I think of is the sound of carbon footprints and that affects all of us.

I know life isn't a guarantee, but having children in your 70s really increases the chance that this kid will never really 'know' their dad.
This is my opinion, but I feel like this is pretty selfish and unfair to the child.

The Tony Randall Effect. Think he was like 77 or something. Kids got 7 more years out of him.

There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide. -Camus

When ever I see a young woman shackled to an old duffer I don't ever think lucky guy I think poor idiot he's been conned and his relatives including children probably older than the trophy wife are going to lose out. The case of the 89 year old billionare and the Marylyn Munroe look alike wife who herself died shortly after him (can't think of the name off hand) 99% of M to F age disparity is likely to fall into the category of gold digger.
